We have always enjoyed coming here, yes it’s dated and old and a bit tatty in places but we love that character and history about it , the rooms are spacious, comfortable and fully equipped - our room was very warm but the staff gave us a fan!Food was excellent! Freshly cooked and a good variety to choose from, breakfast was superb and plenty of it, enjoyed the freshly cooked breakfast as opposed to the buffet but understand that would be impossible during busy periods!Staff are friendly and courteous and nothing is too much troubleThe only thing that I would have liked was more nibbles choice at the bar , fancied some peanuts!Looking forward to our next stay

Seriously gone downhill, had to wait ages for service at the bar, admittedly it was daytime weekday but this function was booked so staff should have been sorted, Also awful damp smell in function room.On the plus side, garden views are lovely.

We loved this place & want to return. This was an unexpected stay, non-scheduled, a complete surprise; the last day of a week of glorious celebrations for our Gold!We had a wonderful meal, with an excellent wine list, and a beautiful room. We're so glad we took the chance, & would highly recommend this venue for anyone wanting a delightful break with great customer service.

Sadly this would only be a 1 star on AA rating of guest houses. It could easy be a 4star if the owner took pride in the place and got annually deep cleaned. As it happened the room 4 I stayed in stunk of damp. Didn't want to put my suitcase on the floor as it was filthy as none of the hundreds of spills had been cleaned up. The linen and the bath were very clean otherwise would have left. The shower head and tile grout had black and brown mould over them so had to have a bath which was nice change but would have preferred to be able to use the shower especially with an early checkout. The room was huge and we'll decorated though an update wouldn't go a miss. It was at least a king size bed. Wouldn't choose to stay here again unless was able to verify things had been cleaned properly rather than a rushed dusting. Staff were very friendly and a credit to company, the maid in the breakfast room was particularly helpfully when I didn't like the sour source the fruit was in and fetched selection of fruit😁. As I said this could easy be 4 star.
